About the Free Reading Program 



The National Library Service for the 
BHnd and Physically Handicapped (NLS) 
loans books and magazines to individuals 
who have problems reading because of a 
visual or physical limitation, temporary 
or permanent. 

Books, playback equipment, head- 
phones, and other aids are delivered by 
mail. Book descriptions, bibliographies, 
and catalogs such as this one are also 
mailed regularly to inform readers of 
materials available. 

No postage is required to borrow or 
return books, equipment, and other ma- 
terials, and all materials are free. 

Thousands of books on discs, cas- 
settes, and in braille are available 
through a network of cooperating librar- 
ies. Fiction and nonfiction selections in- 
clude classics, romances, science fiction, 
biographies, bestsellers, gothic novels, 
how-to books, and many more. Popular 
magazines on discs and in braille are 
mailed to subscribers directly from pro- 
ducers. Music services are provided di- 
rectly from NLS. 

Eligibility for the program is deter- 
mined by the inability to see well enough 
to read a conventional print book or to 
hold a book and turn pages. Individuals 
wishing service need a brief statement 
describing their disability from a compe- 
tent authority such as a medical doctor, 
nurse, optometrist, ophthalmologist, staff 
member of a health care institution, or a 
librarian. 

For specific eligibility requirements 
and more information, write to the Na- 
tional Library Service for the Blind and 
Physically Handicapped, Library of Con- 
gress, Washington, DC 20542.
